Our Values and Standards of Professional Behaviour
You must
- Put the interests of the public above your own or any individual or organisation.
- Fulfil your duties and obligations in a professional and responsible manner.
- Act with honesty and professionalism at all times so as to retain the confidence of all those with whom you engage.
- Declare all relevant interests and actively consider where conflicts may arise between your interests and your official duties, in line with the Declaration and Management of Outside Interests Policy.
You must not
- Act in a manner which undermines public confidence in you or the Commission
- Misuse your official position or information acquired in the course of your official duties to further your private interests or those of others (this duty of confidentiality endures beyond your time at the Commission).
- Use the Commission’s resources for purposes other than the business of the Commission.
- Use your position to receive, agree to accept or attempt to obtain any payment, benefit or consideration for doing, or not doing, anything or showing favour, or disfavour, to any person (whether received from that person or another).
- Accept hospitality, gifts or other benefits from anyone which might reasonably be seen to compromise your personal judgement and decision making. You are expected to familiarise yourself with ICRIR’s Gifts and Hospitality Policy which sets out rules as to how any offers should be handled.
